Win it: Bespoke Post’s “Sweat” Box

For $45 per box, Bespoke Post will deliver to your door a “box of awesome” once a month. Inside you’ll find hand selected items curated for a guy like you. You can skip any box you want or cancel at any time. Click here for more.

First it was a Made in the USA dopp kit stuffed with dopp kit stuffables. Now it’s a solid, basic gym bag with a couple extras inside. Once again worthwhile extras, and once again the Made in the USA Bag is worth the $45 itself. Keep it up fellas (and ladies).

Not tiny, but not a gargantuan hockey bag either. 22″ long is a nice in between size.
Sorry, gear is just for size perspective. You’ll have to buy your own.

It’s basic, but the duffel is the right sizes for hitting the gym or heading to the beach for a quick weekend trip. 2425.5 cubic inches (22″ x 10.5″ x 10.5″) is enough for an extra pair of shoes and some gear. It’s not some hockey/soccer bag the size of a German Shepherd, and it’s no tiny bag that an heiress would put her Chihuahua in either. It’s somewhere in the middle.

It’s a lighter weight canvas, but it has that familiar Blue Claw Co. strong construction feel to it. It’s a classic barrel shape in blue, with brown web handles, and a nifty plaid cotton liner. And, hate to say it since there are plenty of anti-logo-heads out there, but the small, stark logo patch on one end is a nice touch. Especially with the U.S. flag making an appearance below the Blue Claw Co. crab.

Made in the USA, and still nicely affordable.

You get two extras with this box. The first is a one-pound bag of protein powder. Since someone is winning the box that’s being reviewed, we’ll leave this bag untouched, but 2 scoops gets you 50g of protein at 210 calories. The other extra is American Crew’s “Forming Cream” hair product. And I can actually speak on this stuff, because it used to be my go-to for years. It’s a terrific, basic, hair product that is neither a watery gel nor a tough clay. Medium hold, lower shine, and it smells pretty good too.

Enter here to win this “Sweat” Box from Bespoke Post. One entry per person. Deadline for entry is 11:59 pm ET 7/19/13.

UPDATE: Congrats to Steven M. who won this “Sweat” box of awesome from Bespoke Post.

There was a main box, the Weekender, then there were alternates. This one was an afterthought I think. It was small print, in a secondary email sent AFTER my July selection email. I am still a little miffed about that.

I’ve been using an old “sign up and get a free gym duffel” bag from my gym for the last 6 years. It’s a p.o.s. I opted out of this one, and didn’t get it. Now I wish I did. It’s about 1.5x time the size of my freebie.

Precisely! And I added a non productive comment to boot. I’ve been opting out for a while now, I seem to have (in some version) what they’re offering, but the bag seems to be a popular recurring theme.

You are automatically opted in to one at the beginning of every month, but you can opt out and choose from usually two different boxes (although there were I think four this time). Just go to the site and click “boxes” on the top to see the available options

I wonder if this is a push by Blue Claw to generate buzz before they start making this (and the last one) available on their regular site. I own one of the De Gaulle dopp kits and can’t say enough nice things about these guys and how well-made their products are. It really seems like a missed opportunity to not eventually make these bags available to the general public at some point.

I don’t think there is a single “main” box, I think they randomly send a single option to people. For me Sweat was my main box while Stirred was a secondary choice, as well as a couple of other options still available from past boxes. They usually post the other new options on facebook or have them listed on their website if you scroll through.

Agreed. Even if the price was raised by a bit and then introduced into their normal rotation, it seems bizarre to deliberately not sell something that a lot of people really want. They could sell the thing for $80 and still move tons of this bag.
